desperance...are my supper tonight. Soft cod's roes and mushrooms, in other words, fried in butter and served on toast. Perhaps with a little smoked bacon for extra salty crunchy smoky goodness. Just a simple meal - but how often do you see soft cod's roes, these days? They were an occasional feature of my childhood, and I adored them then as I adore them now - but I think this is the second time this decade that I've been able to buy them fresh. It might even be the last time in my life. *eyes California suspiciously*
In other news, I have packed my first box of cookery books. Now I'm going to label it conscientiously, Indian Cookery #1, as a sign of the New and Organised Me. I am full of good resolution and hopeful circumstance. Yesterday I may have been crushingly depressed; today I am cautiously excited. Not exactly coming over all Peter Pan, but marriage will be an awfully big adventure. And America is another country; they do things differently there. Etc. (And I am going to learn to make charcuterie, which they call salumi.)
